Wish me luck...I hope nothing snaps

 

question about the sway bar. im leaving the rear connected i guess. i removed the front. if i jump the RZR will it behave way differently on my landings? i noticed that when you remove the sway bar the wheels drop way further down than they did when i had the bar connected. im assuming the shocks would soak up the impact

 

i'm still at it. i drilled the new bolt holes tonight and mounted one of the shocks. i'm still waiting on the other. the ebay seller selected the slowest shipping method ever. its been over a week.

 

One of two arrived. .my yz125 rear

 

I used stock trx450 shocks on my 50"er back about 6 years ago. Way better then stock.

 

oh shoot..i forgot to zip tie the sway bar up..

 

so, back from lowes...I put on some washers, bought 2 new bolts and nuts. I didn't have any clearance issues. I was able to mount them where I can adjust them facing the tire. I tried to put the tire on and couldn't. I couldn't figure out why with the same jack I used to take off the tires maxed out would not go high enough to put them back on...duh..the sway bar is no longer in use...smh
I don't know how to check for what many referred to as CV binding. I don't want to tear anything up. I lowered the bike and OMG, I immediately felt the difference. I pushed down on the front the same way as I did with my old shocks and was only able to push down a little. I walked away and minutes later tried and it go stiffer. I cant even really raise the front like I did with the old shocks. also, guess what...I don't hear anymore squeaking squealing..scrunching...nothing..maybe my sway bar played a part in that noise along with the shocks.
I cant wait to try this setup out. my yz125's rear are on the way. I still don't know the settings for each adjust screw on the trx450 shocks. the top one is for rebound???? the bottom is what? for height?

also, im standing at about 13" of clearance now.

 

order my rear YZ125's last night. I will dial them in based on the vids an threads for the YZ's. as for the trx 450's all I've seen is one guy talking about 7 turns on one ...one thread for the LTR's is 71 pages...crazy. I've pm'd a few to no avail. i'll be grabbing some lowes washers to make up for the space this week and i'll measure the bolt length.

 

Give this thread a shot.
